My response:

Yes. But, you can get out of it by showing them the photos of the car you took at the drop off point. That will prove there was no damage.

Perhaps, that's why you dropped the car off where you did - - so you wouldn't have to "talk to anyone" about the damages you caused, and hoped to blame it on them!

But, don't worry. Their surveillance tape will show the damages to the car as you drove up.
